These selections create a soothing effect, blending aesthetics with durability for an exterior that complements your home’s unique character and charm.
Whether you are looking for a colour reminiscent of a midnight-blue evening gown and a blue suit or lighter hues reminding you of seashells on the water’s edge to complement your home’s design, we can do it all, from the siding itself to the HardieTrim, backer board, and HardieShingle products.
James Hardie Colours + James Hardie Board and Batten
Create your own unique combination of James Hardie fiber cement products by customizing your home’s exterior with darker undertones or darker accent colors or choosing a softer option with the perfect shade of a rich neutral, heathered moss, countrylane red, or a taupe-based color. Go for a classic choice with navy, mid-tone brown pairs, or a light neutral, or choose a bolder look with an air of history with a deep-blue house with aged pewter accents.
We have all the options to create the perfect complement to your existing design, outfit you with a whole house color of your choice, and we always strive for adaptability when working together on a new design.
